dortmund won against hertha in the DFB Pokal after penalties with 3-2. the match ended in 1-1. sokratis played ok but recieved 2 dumb yellow cards in 20 seconds. didnt expected something this dumb of him at this age. you could also say it was because he didnt wanted to take a penalty since it was in the 119th minute. the ref was a german turk , maybe becuase of that or he was just irritated. anyway tuchel was not happy with it. dortmund face sportfreunde lotte away with only 8 teams left in the cup. http://www.supersport.com/football/germany/news/170209/Tuchel_slams_Sokratis_for_red_card

welcome @Itcoco , enjoy the forum. i think the tensions will get worse overtime specially around imia. i hope greece stands firm everytime. the american hellenic institute wrote a letter to trump about the tensions with turkey. http://usa.greekreporter.com/2017/02/07/american-hellenic-institute-pens-letter-to-president-trump-over-greece-turkey-tensions/

again a match to forget quick. bologna lost 1-7 against napoli and he looked very slow and was given mostly ratings of 4's but also saw 3's.

^he is still not fit and wasnt on the bench yesterday. granada won with 1-0 against las palmas.

he was a beast this weekend and was given great ratings. dortmund won 1-0 against leipzig who only had 2 goal attempts from which 1 on goal. https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=de&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=nl&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.derwesten.de%2Fsport%2Ffussball%2Fbvb%2Fdie-einzelkritik-bvb-abwehrspieler-sokratis-ueberragt-gegen-leipzig-note-1-5-id209502397.html&edit-text=&act=url http://www.espnfc.com/club/borussia-dortmund/124/blog/post/3054270/ousmane-dembele-steals-the-show-as-borussia-dortmund-stifle-second-place-leipzig http://www.flashscore.com/match/A94IWwpL/#match-statistics;0

^after 15 minutes he conceded a penalty which was first missed by griezmann but after the rebound torres scored. http://www.flashscore.com/match/CSeYv6aO/#match-summary

He didnt signed for them yet but agreed with zaragoza in principle. according to reports he will have his medical today. lets see how fit he is. http://en.as.com/en/2017/02/06/football/1486404881_248637.html

He was finally on the bench again yesterday and came on in the 88th minute against rockbottom team rotherham. forest were leading 2-0 by then and it stayed that way.

he has been voted best CB of the first half of the season on bundesliga.de. http://www.sport24.gr/football/Germany/epishmo-koryfaios-amyntikos-ths-bundesliga-o-papastathopoylos.4505907.html

I thought he would stay but he decided not to renew his contract and will leave Willem II at the end of the season. https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=nl&sl=nl&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fnos.nl%2Fartikel%2F2156017-doelman-lamprou-verlaat-willem-ii.html

thx for pointing that out @js1000 , i merged the 2 topics. Guys pm me if a topic is closed and needs to be opened , if i dont answer fast enough pm another mod/supermod , thx, Nikitas.

played his first match this season in the FA Cup against accrington stanley last weekend and won with 1-0. middlesbrough sold guzan if im correct so he might be second keeper for the rest of the season.

returned to full training with the group and should be fit for granada's next match. https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=es&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=nl&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.granadadigital.es%2Fkone-ya-entrena-con-el-resto-del-grupo%2F&edit-text=&act=url

the coach of benfica blamed samaris for the most part in benfica's lost cup match against moreirense(who won the cup last weekend when they defetated braga in the final). when fejsa returned from injury yesterday he started again and samaris was left on the bench. benfica lost 1-0 against setubal. mitroglou started and played the whole match. https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=pt&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=nl&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cmjornal.pt%2Fdesporto%2Ffutebol%2Fdetalhe%2Fsamaris-alvo-de-criticas-de-rui-vitoria%3Fref%3DExclusivos_BlocoFimPagina&edit-text=&act=url

not only tziolis signed for hearts but also former olympioakos player anastasios avlonitis. http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/38799666

^yeah he did well that game. it was piszczek who came to late to stop the goal. BVB has alot of injury problems but its still not an oiled team. Real Madrid might knock on Dortmunds door in june.

@Hudson , i agree since i expect them to be at least tortured and maybe even worse. and with erdogan gaining more power in time we can expect the death penalty being installed again in turkey. @ThrylosG7 , i think the cyprus issue played a good part in it for tsipras.
